Brown trout...swallowed hook!

there are a lot of ponds and stuff in colorado that have both bass and trout year-round. not an ideal situation, but it is possible.
catch some hellgrammites and stone cats out of the river for the bass and he'll be very happy. you can keep hellgrammites in a cooler w/ wet burlap and theyll live for a long while.

Master Zero;1283720; said:Actually the trout pass away a while ago, found him in the morning with a Crayfish in his mouth. I wasnt planning on keeping a trout its just something that happened after foolishly thinking that I could help it somehow, but I know better now to just cut and release (if ill prepared)...a lesson learned too late. Either way it was a beautiful fish and a memorable catch, one that Ill shall never forget...
"Gone, but not forgotten..."
Took alot of courage to post this knowing that you would get flamed by the "I told you so bunch"
This maybe a stupid question, but here goes..
I saw some kid fishing... but then the fish swallows the hook, after awhile the fish dead.. the kid threw the fish back into the water. Then a Seagull swallows it, then what will happen to that bird? will it just go thru it system or will it die?

I read the first two pages and that was enough for me. I dont keep native fish but back when i did i kept a bluegill in a 55 gallon that had swallowed a hook and i cut the line and it lived in there for six months eating anything i threw in. i also caught a 10 inch rainbow trout around the same time and put him in a 125 with no heater, water temp stayed around 68-70 degrees. I also kept him for 6 mos and he ate minnows at first then worms and finallly krill.
I had went fishing again and caught 4 trout and when i came home i took the trout out of the 125 and the bluegill out of the 55 fillet them, deep fried them and then we ate them. they make most hooks so they do desolve so the fish lives. I never try to take a swallowed hook out of a gamefish i cut the line and put it back in the water if im not taking it home to eat.

trout need COLD water with alot of oxygen in it the hook proubly won't rust out in time and the fish will die but if you had cut the line and let it go it may have live but to be transported and cought the stress will be to much
